Funeral Sermon Poem by Marton Dezso

Ye see, my brethren, with your eyes, what we are
Behold, we are dust and ashes.
Shadows on a cave-wall
Cave-shadows when we die.

Ye see, my brethren, with your eyes, what we are
Behold, we are dust and ashes.
On God’s word accents we are
and silent gods when we die.

Ye see, my brethren, with your eyes, what we are
Behold, we are dust and ashes.
Dust to go with the wind we are
Silent husbands when we die.
